Ugh. Did Sweat 5-6 tonight, first workout in a few days. Had work stuff last night and a visiting friend from out of town the previous 2. I did manage to get a good run in Sunday morning though. Lunch was less than optimal the last couple of days, subs one day and pizza the next. It's hard to break away from working lunches sometimes. At least the sub was turkey and the pizza was veggie but I still felt it during tonight's workout. My knees were acting up as well tonight. I say again, ugh.0

Pizza, skipping workouts.......I hope my bad influence is not rubbing off on you!
Ok! I'm back to my regular routines starting tonight!!! Cardio Intervals is my next workout. I can feel the motivation coming back again after seeing how well everyone else is doing both here and with Power 90. Wish me luck!0 -
Hi everyone...sorry for my lack of support. Been busy!
Completed UML last night and it was a good work out but the push ups are killing me!!!!!
I have Cardio Intervals tonight and I'm looking forward to it!
I may have to change up the schedule a bit though. Working out for 3 days and 1 off isn't working for me. It's much easier for me to do 6 days straight and keeps me focused. So that is what I am doing this week. I may do a double work out on Saturday too!
Happy Wednesday0 -

Mike ~ YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!0 -
Was really hoping to wake up and do UML this morning but this kinda tickle of a throat thing turned into a really bad sore throat and cough. So I rested a little more and went into work later. I am drinking my green tea and takine my vitamins. Extra dose of C and airborne. Hopefully it will blow over...I can't be sick for Saturday (my derby party)!!
I may just try streching tonight or a light walk...
Going to aim for Sculpt tomorrow...maybe 1/2 if I am still feeling little iffy?
Hope everyone is having a happy healthy day!!!!0 -

I hope you feel better soon!! Maybe just do the warm up, stretch and a bit of the work out. The stretch may help!0 -
I have one pet peeve about this work out.....no Ab Ripper. So this means I will need to start with Ab Ripper 100 again and work my way up to Ab Ripper 200. I'm a little disappointed that it's not incorporated in with Sweat 5/6 like it was with 1/2 & 3/4. No big deal..just means I have to put another DVD in..it's pressing Play that gets me :-)0

lobster...hope you are feeling better real soon!
I did Cardio Intervals last night and was able to really push it. I got my HR up pretty high, which gave me a great calorie count. Mentally I felt good about the workout and enjoyed it. The only exercise I struggled with was the Run Planks. I'm doing the modified (just walking) but I need to take a break half way through. I always felt so uncoordinated with Wacky Jacks. I finally figured out I was bending my upper body AWAY from the leg that was swinging out. After I finally got my body to move so that the upper body was moving in the same direction as my leg, I could really see how it works great on those love handles. I was actually excited about figuring this out.
Tan...I may switch it up a little shortly too. I want to start working a little more on sculpting.
Thanks for everyone's support with my lack of motivation the last couple of weeks.
Knock on wood I'm feeling more energetic again and can get back to my routines after this short break.

Today is suppose to be a rest day and I think I'm going to keep going. I prefer my rest days on Sunday especially on the weekends when I don't have my kids.
I had issues with Wacky Jacks at first and then I figured it out...funny that I had the same issues as you!! I can't do the scissor one on UML..I always want to bring my legs in and out instead of up and down LOL
Keep at it Mike..I need ya!!0 -
Took all my vitamins and got a good nights sleep. I did do a light walk last night so I think it helped me sleep.
Feeling a little better and got up and did sculpt 1/2 . Hopefully I will be good for the day. I take Airborne when I feeling like this and helps me. i know a lot of people don't like it or it hadnt worked for them but it seems to really help me.
I need to be able to push it the next two weeks - sorta like last chance workout!!!! I know that I won't be able to do my traditional workouts on vacation and my healhty eating options won't be the same so I need to try to do all I can now!!!!
Tomorrow I would really like to do UML - but I will see how I feel when i wake up!!!!
Thanks for all the support everyone - it helps me !!!!0 -
Hello everyone! Last day of P90 is Saturday for me & my husband. We just got P90MS in the mail today. We'll be starting on Monday morning. Just skimming through the DVD's now before I have to run & get my 2 year from preschool. It looks fun! I guess we have to figure out a schedule now. We usually work out 6 days per week & rest on Sundays.0

I take Airborne too! I usually start feeling better within a few hours.0 -
If you use the workout schedule put out by Steve Edwards you do Ab Ripper regularly throughout the program.
I didn't get it done today because I decided I'd rather go for a run. I registered for the Susan Komen 5k next month with a co-worker so I need to keep my running going strong.
I have a hard time getting my body to move correctly for the wacky jacks. I know what to do but I can't always get my body to do it! I agree that it's much better when done correctly.
I did Core Cardio last night and noticed some small improvements. I'm getting better at "finger to toe crunches" and DB scoot. Dreya rolls still get me though, the transition to my feet is tough but I'm getting better at pushing off with my hands to get there. The "cockeyed sphinx pushups" are really tough. Tony and the kids say they feel it in their abs, I feel it in my arms and shoulders, lol.
Keep up the great work gang!0 -

I cannot do Dreya Rolls!! The only reason is because of my hardwood floor. It hurts my back too much. Cockeyed Spinx...ya...I only feel it in my arms/shoulders. I do my best to engage my core so maybe I'm not engaging it enough..oh and my butt is tight lol
I have to start doing ab ripper again...as sad as it may sound..I miss it!! I think I have Sculpt tonight..I can't remember right now..schedule is at home. I started out doing 3 days on and 1 day of rest but that doesn't work for me. I need to do 6 straight and then take Sunday as my rest day.
Oh and I LOVE the hamstring stretch at the end of Core..it is a beautiful thing!!0 -

I picked up a thick exercise mat at Target, it's called Embark. It really helps with the rolls and the kayak things.
I love those stretches too!0 -
Your reading my mind Brent. I was wondering what mat you bought. I'll have to check it out this weekend.
Did Sculpt 5-6 tonight.0 -
Too funny Mike
It's the only real exercise mat my store had. They had plenty of yoga mats but those are much too thin for this sort of thing. This one is 1/2" thick and works well, I still feel it a little bit in my tail bone but not enough to bother me.
I too did Sculpt 5-6 and AR200. I still feel like I've lost a step or two but got a good burn and am pleased.0 -
It looks like everyone is coming along great. So far I am 55 days into P90 MS and I have lost 24 pounds with it so it obviously burns some calories. I have already stated I like some workouts much better then others. At this point I am thinking of eliminating UML completely. I have two reasons one it is REALLY boring (to me) and two I do not feel like it is giving me a good workout. Anyone have any suggestions what I should replace it with if I do. Today on the calendar I was using it called for UML and I just did Cardio Intervals instead, I really like this workout but I do not know if it is hitting the same areas.0

I totally agree. Dreya rolls are tough and I keep trying to feel the sphinx inmy abs but I just feel it in my arms and shoulders.0 -

Dee, your much farther along and you seem to be doing great! That's major pounds in just 55 days. Congrats!
Why don't you just rotate through the other 5 discs and skip UML? I'm not sure what schedule your doing.
I too seem to feel the cockeyed sphinx pushups in my arms and shoulders....oh well, we will get there.
I did Plyo this morning before cutting the lawn and other chores. It'll be good to get back to work tomorrow so I can relax :-)
Have a great week everyone!0 -
1st day today. Took it easy since my shoulders are bright red from too much sun over the weekend. It hurts to raise my arms up but I worked through it. Didn't do as many reps as I probably could have. We started with sculpt 5-6 today. I liked it but it seemed too easy. Going to increase my weights next time & do more reps. It was a nice change. I was getting so bored with 3-4. Looking forward to cardio tomorrow.0

Hello P90MS Pals!!
Glad to see that everyone is doing their work outs!! Cardio 5/6 for me tonight followed by AR. Happy monday!!0 -
Good Morning Everyone! I had a great weekend and now I am ready to hit it hard for the next two weeks!!! (until my vacation). I am doin phase one of South Beach and upping my workouts.
This morning I did Sculpt 5/6 and plan on my walking and ab ripper 100 tonight. Tomorrow morning I will try core cardio or sweat 5/6 . I have to push it hard!!!
Keep pushing play!!0 -
Howdy gang!
Took a rest day yesterday after my 10 mile hike on Saturday and today was just too nice to stay inside so I ran. Tomorrow will be either Core Cardio or Cardio Intervals.
Glad to see you here Crystal, excellent job with P90!0 -
Welcome to the wild world of P90 Master Series Crystal! I know you will be very successful as you were with P90.
lobster, it sounds like you are really motivated and are going to do great these next couple of weeks.
Brent, I live for this time of year and love being outside! I can't get enough of it! I just need to stop finding chores to do and take a ride on my bike. I'm taking Wednesday off since we are having sunshine all week to finally stain my deck. Two days spent cleaning and now a third staining...I can say I enjoy exercising MUCH MORE! :explode:
I did Sculpt 5/6 last night with my daughter who is home from college
I feel good about how I did. Push-ups are getting better :grumble: , and I'm using 30 pounds on some of the workouts (lawnmower). I'm stopping the 3 on and 1 off schedule and am going to try and get back to 6 days a week and include Sculpt a couple times each week. Tonight, I'll be doing Core Cardio.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!0 -
Sweat 5-6 for us this morning. Calorie burn seemed low for me & Davey (My husband) for cardio. Hoping we'll burn more as we get used to the new moves. I like it. Jump kicks were my favorite move. I have to really pay attention to what I'm doing. The kids got up & were trying to talk to me & Davey was trying to talk to me as he was getting ready for work & I got so off. Glad I got it done. Busy day today. Errands to do, house to clean, and I have to work for a couple of hours. Softball for my daughter tonight. I hope I remember to eat. Like I could forget. LOL! Hope everyone has a great workout today!0

Good Morning!! Had a busy day at work yesterday and not ale to get in my walk but traded that for a good home cooked meal - steamed squash & zuchinni with turkey bacon and fresh seasoning. So, I figured that was a good trade.
I did core cardio this morning and feeling pretty good. I also am set to take my spin/ab class tonight. So I making mini goals to do each day to keep me motivated. Exercise and food wise.
So today my exercise goal is to go to my spin/ab class (because I already did Power90 this morning)
Food goal is to really watch salt intake and make sure I get in all my water and one glass of my homemade green tea. Also no eating after 8:30..(That is a tough one for me... I like my little night time snack)
Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!!0 -
I'm stopping the 3 on and 1 off schedule and am going to try and get back to 6 days a week and include Sculpt a couple times each week.
In case anyone is interested, I'll post the schedule I'm going to follow once I officially start P90MS - I have 11 days left of P90, although I've already been swapping in Sculpt 5-6 and Sweat 5-6 once a week. Anyway, I want a schedule that is going to maximize muscle building and strength. Like Tony says in Sculpt 5-6, I'm a duuude... I want muscles!
Besides, it's a well known fact that muscle is active tissue, and burns fat. If you do too much cardio, yes you'll lose a lot of weight, but a good portion of that weight will be muscle. I want to retain the lean mass that I have as much as possible, and burn away the remaining fat.
So I took a schedule that Tony himself had posted on his blog as one that he likes and I modified it a little. Here is what he had posted:
Week 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - etc.
Day 1 ~ Cardio Intervals
Day 2 ~ Sculpt 5-6
Day 3 ~ Sweat 5-6
Day 4 ~ U M L
Day 5 ~ Core Cardio
Day 6 ~ Sculpt 5-6
Day 7 ~ Rest
Week 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 etc.
Day 1 ~ U M L
Day 2 ~ Sweat 5-6
Day 3 ~ Plyo Legs
Day 4 ~ Sculpt 5-6
Day 5 ~ Core Cardio
Day 6 ~ U M L
Day 7 ~ Rest
I want to do a little more weight lifting than this schedule had, and I wanted to incorporate Ab Ripper and X Stretch, so here are my modifications:
Week 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 11 - 13
Day 1 ~ Cardio Intervals
Day 2 ~ Sculpt 5-6 / Ab Ripper 200
Day 3 ~ Sweat 5-6
Day 4 ~ U M L / Ab Ripper 200
Day 5 ~ Core Cardio
Day 6 ~ Sculpt 5-6 / Ab Ripper 200
Day 7 ~ X Stretch
Week 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 - 12
Day 1 ~ Sweat 5-6
Day 2 ~ Sculpt 5-6 / Ab Ripper 200
Day 3 ~ Plyo Legs
Day 4 ~ U M L / Ab Ripper 200
Day 5 ~ Core Cardio
Day 6 ~ Sculpt 5-6 / Ab Ripper 200
Day 7 ~ X Stretch
I think this will give me a good variety, and it follows that standard schedule of alternating cardio and resistance training 3 days each per week. This is how I'm going to start, with the understanding that I can make modifications as needed.

I'm a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad boy
Been in a funk all day and polished off two boxes of girl scout cookies. Got home and did a 2 mile hill route as punishment then did Jillian Michaels (gasp) yoga meltdown in order to get some calories for dinner. I gotta say that it was a GREAT workout. the yoga from P90 and some of the stretches from MS really helped prepare me.
whew!0 -
Crystal, I too really like the jump kicks! There cooooool! :bigsmile:
lobster...you are really doing great! Cardio in the morning, spin in the evening, eating right! Your an inspiration!
Mike....thanks for posting the schedules. I also appreciate your reminder about the fact that muscle burns fat. I really need to stop doing a lot of cardio and build more lean muscle and realize that will help me burn off the rest of my stomach issues eventually.
Brent...it seems like you and I have been having some similar funks! Two boxes?!!??? God I love girl scout cookies.
But its rewarding to know you made up for it by working off the calories. I've never seen any of Julian's workouts, but I can only imagine the pain she can invoke! Great job!
I'm off tomorrow to stain my deck and was busy tonight testing some sample stains I bought on the way home from work. I then went to Lowes to buy the one we decided on. I was going to skip the workout and do it tomorrow morning, but got a second wind after dinner. My daughter joined me for Core Cardio. It's great having someone else work with you...except for the limited space. So I'm feeling great that I got it done tonight!
Everyone's doing great! Keep it going!0
